Taper for points in changeable point Z Live Center?

I ran a DTI into my MT3 tailstock to copy the taper to my compound, then ran it into the nose taper on the Z Live Center. As I expected, they are nowhere near a match.

So now you can make any insert you need, now that you have the taper spec.
 
I expect that if I did that I'd be copying the taper anyway as the best way to get a close match, but I'm still curious about formal dimensions.

Yes. I already knew that I could copy it. I feel like I keep repeating that my question was about whether it was known to be a standard taper. That's all.
 
You could measure the taper at each end to find out what the taper per foot is, then look in MH to find out if it is a standard taper.
